An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026

      Dang, 16GB of RAM is barely enough these days! I feel you though. Maybe you can list it and get some cash for that expensive upgrade.

    Provided you don’t need to upgrade for the next year or two, I think you will eventually have a ton of cheap and quality DDR5 memory to buy. I am looking forward to that, I want to build an endgame Threadripper Pro, and be set for a decade.

    I decided to build a new PC about a month ago. 64gb of ram was $250 and I thought that was excessive.

    I bought the latest of some devices earlier this year, but didn’t have cash to buy a completely new PC. I’ve decided if my older desktop breaks, I’ll just have to get a “cheap” laptop & install Linux. Hopefully things stabilize within the next few years as manufacturers shift production.
